Hate (Holding On) Lyrics


Music: Dykeman/Dunn/Gans/McLaggan

Lyrics: Dykeman/Sheffroth

Hate... with a passion

Love and hate go hand in hand, together cruel, together grand

View... this emotion

It sees the unknown soul defined, while setting anguish deep into

Mind... of distinction

that's breaking down from overload, as logic's burned beneath the soul Now ruled...by desire with nowhere left to go...

We're burning in the fire

We must abandon this dismay

If we're to stand another day

Chased... by opinions

Cornered to accept what's right and broken down...

To tears... of deception

The hidden eyes that cry alone together cry the truth be known...

And on this cold and storming night

As I shiver numb inside

I can remember you once say... that in the sunrise

There is a promise of a day

Passion abused, my mindless state

Carried me down... deep into hate

But I could see you through the rain

Holding on, to me again...

Holding on, with my heart I can feel now

For so long, thought my visions had died

Feeding my mind with...

Hate... passion...

Feed the hunger deep inside, opinions failed passions cried

Feed... the desire

I fed it all I owned, it fed me to the fire...

Passion abused, my worst mistake

Tried to make love, I just bred hate

Thinking of you, through the rain

Holding on, to me again...

Holding on, with my heart the promise real now

The days are gone, when the fire ruled my mind

Feeding my mind with...

Hate... passion...

Passion abused, my mindless state

Carried me down... deep into hate

But I could see you through the rain

Holding on, to me again...

Holding on, with my heart the promise real now

The days are gone, when the fire ruled my mind

Holding on, with my heart I believe now

Holding strong, time and tide are on my side

Freeing my mind...

Freeing my mind of hate
